Damilano is one of the historical Barolo producing farms, founded over a century ago by Guiseppe Borgogno. The tradition was kept up by his son-in-law Giacomo Damilano and with his children, until it was passed on to his four grandchildren, who very attentively manage their forefathers’ land today. The wines are renowned for their upright style and the estate is widely appreciated due to the strictness and passion that accompany all of the company’s activities. The vineyards are situated in the most famous crus of the Langa region: Cannubi, Liste, Fossati and Brunate, which are almost entirely cultivated with Nebbiolo da Barolo.
Tasting Notes
Garnet red in color with orange reflections. An intense bouquet with notes of violet, balsamic and small red berries. The palate is intense, elegant and persistent, with nuances of red fruit, tobacco, liquorice and with ageing truffles and cinnamon.
Barolo Brunate is a wine with a great character, which goes perfectly with roasts, braised meat, game and dishes with mushrooms or truffles.

Barolo DOCG “Brunate” 2014 | Impressive amount of roses, plums and cedar follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a juicy finish. Excellent 2014. Drink or hold.
91 POINTS
Barolo DOCG “Brunate” 2014 | The Brunate cru always offers a very tight and precise quality of dark, black fruit, and these are especially important attributes in such a difficult vintage: The 2014 growing season saw above average rainfall and below average temperatures. The mid-weight 2014 Barolo Brunate is intense, complete and profound. It shows good meat on these bones, with power at the back and sweet fruit on the close. Only 2,900 bottles were made.
